The best golf courses in Utah, according to golfers on TheGrint, are Glenwild Golf Club & Spa (96.3), Victory Ranch Club (95.7) and Black Desert Resort Golf Course (93.8). Utah has two courses on TheGrint's 2026 Top 100: Glenwild in Park City (No. 94 on the U.S. Private list) and Black Desert in Ivins (No. 62 on the U.S. Public list).

How are these golf courses ranked?

TheGrint Rating is a score out of 100 built from golfers' reviews and their head-to-head course rankings on TheGrint. TheGrint Top 100 uses those signals, including the Course Ranking Game, and gives more weight to golfers who have played more courses.

TheGrint Rating: golfers' ratings of the course, plus where it places in their personal rankings. It is not the Course Rating^™ that the USGA^® and authorized golf associations assign to each set of tees.
TheGrint Difficulty: how hard a course plays compared with every other rated course, based on the scores golfers log there.
Hidden gems: public and semi-private courses with a state rank, meaning enough golfer reviews to be ranked, that aren't on the 2026 Top 100.

How we counted: ratings, difficulty and state ranks come from TheGrint's Utah directory and course pages on October 26, 2026. Ratings update as golfers add reviews and rankings. For more on the lists, see how TheGrint Top 100 works.
